Chia_plotter causes a strange problem of network packet loss.

I recorded the process of the problem and put it on youtube

Today I added a new machine and encountered a very, very strange problem.

After running chia_plotter on 192.168.2.110, the machine immediately began to lose packets severely. Using 192.168.2.110 to ping the gateway 192.168.2.1 will also cause serious packet loss.

All network problems occurred at the moment of running chia_plotter.

I don't have any idea to solve this problem, everything is normal without running chia_plotter.

update:

I restored this situation through a cpu stress test. Is this a hardware problem?

my windows machine had this same problem(cpu 100% and ping drop or up to 4000+ after a stress).

for me after installing the motherboard chipset drivers they worked fine

This might explain why my chia client seems to lag behind or get disconnected while plotting with madmax

This probably belongs in "discussions" not "issues" as I don't think it's a bug with MadMax. This is very likely just resource contention that is not being well managed for your system. Check whether you are running irqbalance. You may also need to tune MadMax threads down.
